Olivia Wilde, Ai Weiwei and other Visionaries Turn Globes into Art. Own One!

September 13, 2012

About the artwork: This globe, created by Wilde herself, is made of papier-mâché, "which is classic Haitian," she says. "The base is wrapped in palm fronds, and the feathers represent carnival, which is major in Haiti."

**About the charity: **Artists for Peace and Justice, founded by Paul Haggis, is an alliance of film directors, writers, actors, and musicians dedicated to fighting poverty in the developing world and currently focused on building schools in Haiti. (Learn more at apjnow.org.)

We asked our Visionaries 2012 award recipients to redesign a traditional schoolhouse globe to go up for auction at Charitybuzz. The proceeds go to the artist's chosen charity—click through to learn more about the organizations that will benefit.

As part of our Visionaries Awards, we asked each of the recipients to redesign a traditional schoolhouse globe. The results were artistic and inventive—papier-mâché, feathers, yarn, and buttons all made appearances—but most importantly, they were inspiring. The globes are on auction at Charitybuzz through September 19, and the proceeds from each will benefit the artist's chosen charity. Click through our slideshow to see photos of the globes and to learn more about the worthy organizations that will benefit from the auction, then head over to Charitybuzz to start bidding.
